Innocent Angel Eyes
By: KuroKazuya
I have some favorites as to who should end up with Naruto but for now I haven't made up my mind. So, if you have any preferences please feel free to tell me. Also, I'll try to update as soon as a new chapter is done but I can't promise weekly updates.
Warnings: FemNaru, HaremNaru, AU, OOCness, short chapters, and possible spoilers.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. I wish I did, but alas Kishimoto beat me to it.
This is AU so here's a few things you need to know before reading:
1. Karin, Jugo, and Suigetsu don't exist
2. Jiraiya is still alive
3. Danzo hasn't taken over
and finally
4. Asuma is still alive
'Kyuubi speaking'
'regular thinking'
'Kyuubi thinking'
*Authors notes*
The fight was over, and Naruto had won. At least, that's what he had assumed. Since, he was after all unable to move. The pain was too great and he felt everything dim first senses, then overall consciousness.
'Hn, this is bad.' He was slowly blacking out.
Then just before the dark-numbness overtook him, he felt something warm move him. His back was no longer resting on cold rocks but on what felt like someone's inviting lap. Someone lifted his head and rested their forehead against his own. His face felt suddenly moist, not cold like rain, but warm like tears.
'Who is this?' he thought. 'It can't be Naruto.' He thought as he felt long soft hair brush across his face.
'Is it Sakura?' He didn't feel like he was being healed. It couldn't be Ino she would have started healing him by now as well. It had to be a girl, no self respecting guy would have been crying over another guy (at least not with the other guy on his lap).
Was it Hinata or Ten-Ten? No that wasn't right either, he was fairly sure Hinata would be crying over Naruto, not him. Anyone with half a brain could see that she liked him, although knowing the dobe he probably didn't even have that. Was it even possible to be that dense?
Ten-Ten didn't know, or like, him enough to care that he was badly injured. 'Oh well, guess there's only one way to find out' he thought.
He slowly opened his eyes and saw the girl pull away startled. 'She looks just like...No...It can't be.' He used Sharingan momentarily 'Can it?'
He was on the verge of death when it happened. The Kyuubi gave him the most precious thing in the world. Life, was what the Kyuubi had given him, even though he knew the price of doing so.
That's right Kyuubi had given up his life so that Naruto could live his own.
Kyuubi had grown very fond of Naruto over the years. Although he wasn't prone to saying so, that kid had earned his respect. In Kyuubi's opinion the easy way to bring Sasuke back would have been to depend on the massive amounts of Chakra possessed by him. Naruto had thought so as well.
So he had done just that, in the beginning. Then he had realized that when he did so the malicious nature of the Chakra made him lose control. Made him hurt those he fought to protect. So, with full knowledge that the path would be much more difficult, he decided to retrieve Sasuke using only his own power. Gaining the respect that Kyuubi rarely offered anyone. Respect that slowly turned into affection, affection that morphed into love.
That's why now that they were both in danger of dying, Kyuubi did the only thing he thought he could do. He gave his life for the child he had grown to love. The son he had watched grow up. The boy who despite all the obstacles placed before him had made it this far, doing so with a smile on his face and hope in his heart.
There was only one catch the Kyuubi had said to him before hand. Since, his body had been so badly damaged. He would have to deconstruct then reconstruct it from scratch. All this had to be done fast enough that the soul didn't dissipate from exposure to the elements.
Only Kyuubi was powerful enough to attempt it and even he would have to give his life to stand a chance at accomplishing it. This he did not tell Naruto, the boy would only disregard the idea the second he found out the sacrifice Kyuubi would have to make. Demon or not Naruto would never let anyone die for him though, he would gladly give his life to save someone.
He would use materials from the damaged body. The problem was the body had been so badly damaged that, there weren't enough materials left to make a male body. There were however enough materials for a female body.*A/N The reasoning for this is that overall (in most mammals) females are smaller than males, with the exception of a few species.*
'Wait you're telling me that you can keep me alive, but as a woman!?' Naruto had asked. 'In other words I'll be a man in a woman's body!?' Kyuubi chuckled at that. 'No. Once it's done you'll have the mentality of a woman, in simpler words you'll think like a girl too. So, you won't just look like one, you'll actually be a girl .'
Kyuubi had slowed down Naruto's time awareness (so he wouldn't be rushed) and Naruto had thought long and hard. In the end he came to the conclusion that he had promised himself, and Sakura, that he would bring Sasuke back and that he couldn't very well do that if he was dead. So, he decided to go through with it. He had been trying too hard for too long to let something as small as gender stop him from keeping this promise now that he finally could.
He told this to Kyuubi who smiled knowingly and then they went through with it. There was a flash of blinding red light and the sensation of something leaving him forever. He realized that it was Kyuubi only just as everything went black and despair encased him.
Well that's the prologue it's pretty short but it's just a Prologue so yeah. I'm going to be posting the first chapter soon. The prologue is pretty crappy compared to the actual thing in my opinion. So, don't let this set your standards for this story.
